Description

THE OWNER SAYS, "My loft has had a friendly feeling from the first time I walked in 38 years ago. The Chinese red floor makes me happy and I hope the owner after me will feel the same way. " First time on the market in 38 years. This is currently an OPEN LOFT with one large bathroom but can be converted to a two bedroom and two bathroom similar to the lofts above in the building (see alternate floor plan) with board approval. This loft has great flexibility as it is an open canvas for renovation. It is extremely quiet. This approximately 1,600 sq. ft. loft has 4 windows in the rear facing north and a WALL OF WINDOWS at the front facing South with a door opening onto a beautiful view of Franklin Street. An elevator opens into the loft with it's 11 foot 7 inch barrel vaulted ceiling and beams. There are plenty of closets and custom shelving throughout this space including a large walk in. With a $1,500 per month maintenance the space is affordable indeed. The open kitchen has a dishwasher and gas stove. There is a stack washer and dryer in the rear of the loft. Whole Foods, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Barnes and Noble are a short distance from 156 Franklin. The #1 subway train is a half block away, with all transportation close by. Fabulous restaurants and boutique shops are located in every direction from this Franklin Street location, and the beautiful Hudson River Esplanade is three blocks away. Franklin Street's cobblestones and exquisite converted warehouses are authentic and unique. Great school district. 156 Franklin is a small, well-managed (self-run), landmarked, prewar, boutique building that has no mortgage debt, super-low maintenance, solid financials and great shareholders who care deeply about maintaining the authenticity of the building. There is a bike space in the lobby. Sorry, no dogs.
